Annabelle is a spider by adoption, the owner of a carnival by conquest and Adam Westbrook's girlfriend by choice. Her loyalties have never been made entirely clear. When a savage bear with a grudge comes to call, they offer to put it right, and stumble onto a plot to put entire worlds in jeopardy. Their priorities will be tested, their lives put on the line, and their burgeoning relationship pushed to its limits as they attempt to save dimensions, and still come out with body and mind intact. Adam crosses paths with the taciturn Mikhail, the psychotic Xavier and the lethal Dread Bear, and each one has secrets he needs to uncover. And maybe Annabelle, the Spinning Sister, most of all.
